Advice Wanted - Scout Rifles in .308

[rOmiLaYu]

I've owned both the Ruger and the Mossberg. I preferred the Mossberg. The Ruger was heavier and didn't swing as well for me. Triggers were roughly equivalent. Both suppressed equally well, also. Definitely a personal preference as I didn't see anything objectively better about the Ruger, unless you consider the stainless steel and laminate wood stock as "better."

Fair points. The Ruger model I'm looking at is a polymer stock which means the weight is about the same. The stainless is a plus, but not necessarily a plus given the price differentials.

Look at the ruger American go wild Aics mag Model #26926. Like a scout in some ways, maybe a little better.

I've got a couple of Americans in various calibers, but I'm looking for a shorter barrel and a forward mount for this application.

Kinda like the idea, but they seem to be going for silly money.
